PICK 6

3

The number of points Clemson’s defense held Notre Dame to in the Tigers’ Cotton Bowl victory. It was the fewest points ever scored by the Fighting Irish in a bowl game and marked the first time Notre Dame’s offense had been held without a touchdown since a 10-3 loss at N.C. State in 2016.

24.7

The average yards gained per reception by freshman wide receiver Justyn Ross in the Tigers’ win against Notre Dame. His average established a new Clemson bowl record, eclipsing the previous mark of 24.5 yards per catch set by Brian Wofford against Mississippi State in the 1999 Peach Bowl.

52

The number of sacks accumulated by Clemson’s defense this season. The Tigers boosted their total with six sacks against Notre Dame, matching the school record for a bowl game. Clemson’s 52 sacks not only lead the nation, but broke the program’s previous single-season record of 49 set in 2016.

54

The number of victories posted by Clemson’s senior class over the last four seasons. The 54 victories represent both school and Atlantic Coast Conference records and the team’s .931 winning percentage will make the 2018 seniors the first in school history to have a winning percentage of .900 or better.

137

The number of consecutive passes thrown by quarterback Trevor Lawrence without an interception. His most recent interception came on his final pass attempt at Boston College on Nov. 10. Lawrence is now within striking distance of Cullen Harper’s single-season school record of 143 set in 2007.
